Cool Shit 2/26

Scientists 20-25 years ago did a massive disservice to the world calling the upcoming climate change as "global warming," as it gave everyone who didn't want to believe in it (a weird fact in itself) ammunition every time it got significantly colder. Specifically like right now watching Boston and the entire Northeast deal with ridiculous amounts of snow. Newsflash: that's not countering our climate change; in fact it's more likely that it's a result of it. Regardless, check out what the northeast is going through with these photos.

I just had to link to this, if only to allow others to attempt to wrap their minds around the concept of something being 12 billion times larger than our sun.

Also something that is baffling scientists: strange lights on a dwarf planet in our solar system.
